Terry Gou said that his running mate in Taiwan’s presidential election would be Tammy Lai, who starred in a high-profile Netflix drama.
After months of speculation, the billionaire Gou announced his run as an independent candidate last month, though he has continued to run at the bottom of most opinion polls and well behind the favourite, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party’s William Lai, currently Taiwan’s vice-president. That series, about the members of an election campaign team, including a supportive manager who convinces a young staffer who was groped that the issue is too important to be swept under the rug, kicked off a renewed #MeToo movement in Taiwan.
